Logo!Soft Comfort - Sequential Output Control with Input Inhibition

Here's a solution for your described logic in Logo!Soft Comfort, addressing the sequential outputs, timing, and input inhibition:

Logic Breakdown & Implementation

1. Input & First Output: Direct connection as you described.
2. Timer: Utilize a Pulse Timer (TP) for variable timing. The input signal triggers the TP, and the timer's Q output controls the subsequent logic. The timer value should be adjustable via a network input.
3. Second Output: Use a latch (set/reset) controlled by the NOT of the First Output's signal AND a delay timer (TON) of 1 second. The TON timer is triggered by the First Output going OFF.
4. Third Output: Similar to the Second Output, use a latch controlled by the NOT of the Second Output's signal AND a TON timer of 1 second.
5. Input Inhibition: Use an AND gate. Input signal AND the NOT of all three outputs. This ensures the input is only active when all outputs are OFF, effectively restarting the cycle.
